Yo US sailor out in Japan, honestly haven't had a pen pal in some time (honestly i think since elementary school) so honestly doing something this old school may be fun. I like to talk on philosophy, inter faith traditions (from christianity, to buddhism, to muslim, to whatever), I am a big anime geek and major story writer for fellow writers are more then welcome. Send me a message if your up for it.

This sounds like a lot of fun! I haven't had a pen pal since I was a kid...

I'm a twenty-year-old college student in the US, practicing Japanese while studying Korean and Mandarin on the side (at a newbie level). Hebrew and Hindi are also languages I am familiar with, although I am not fluent in either. My major is Psychology, but I'm planning to earn a TESL license in the meantime. I love to learn languages, and teaching English overseas is a real dream of mine. I am a lover of music, foreign films and TV (not so much anime as live-action dramas), stage plays and the written word. In discussion, I am usually a bit scatterbrained and extremely talkative, so the conversation usually goes all over the map. I love science fiction and fantasy. I love to design and create outfits and costumes from old, retailored clothes and broken machinery.

I would be open to either email or snail mail, although snail mail would be a lot more fun and unique. However, if snail mail is the order of the hour, I may have to see about getting a PO box for logical reasons. I'm not sure how that works, but if it can be done, it will be done.

Hello! I would really like a pen pal to send letters to. I live in the UK and would like a pen pal from another country... but, someone who lives nearby would also be cool to talk to - especially if there are steampunk fairs going on nearby.

They skitter at my heels, but haven't caught me yet Embodiments of weaknesses, and fears, and regret Sleep as well as one could hope for, sleep but don't forget You and I on borrowed time; a waiting marionette

Oh alright. I was going to start trying to stalk make new friends anyway. And, for a limited time only, a bonus! .... Well I haven't figured that part out yet. Maybe I'll make a special writing quill/ball point as a preemptive thanks for putting up with my less than exciting life or something. =P Seriously. Put me on your to write list someone! My interests/hobbies are many (and all of them nerdy) and include: D&D, my son (he's hilarious!), fiction writing, reading, movies, couch potato-ing, tinkering, many things in the Xbox category, making things magically disappear with the power of explosives, long walks on the beach, candle light meals under the stars and crying after intercourse. ... Lets just ignore that last one. ... Pick me! Pick me!

18 male North East US, looking for email/daily convo pen pal from anywhere in the world. Anyone that is interested in steampunk culture and crafts. I'm really into fitness and nutrition, but also delve into computer hardware and mechanical design.

I would love to write to a pen-pal. Not particular about how to be matched; either way would be lovely.

I am an artist, and costumer. I enjoy painting and crafting jewelry in addition to other pursuits (metalwork, music, dance…. ). Also exceedingly interested in nature and poetry. Enjoy 19th century literature.

27, residing on the east coast of the US, happy to converse either by email or possibly by traditional letter.

Interested in conversing with those who are creative, polite, honorable, and interesting.

I'd be up for a traditional pen pal! I love writing/reading fictional stories. I do all kinds of crafts so don't be surprised if I sneak something handmade in with a letter. I love reading and then geeking out about what's going on in the book. I'm a 20 year old student in the US. If you want to be Pen Pals PM me.

I have been thinking about getting a PenPal for some time. I am fifteen in ten days and enjoy reading (mostly Stephen King), creative writing, films, Steampunk (of course!) and many other things involving Steampunk. I am not too picky about PenPals or where they are from, just someone who is nice and willing to converse through the medium of email.

Hello, I would like to try this out. I never did it before so be warned! (just kidding )I would like to try mail first, so I can see how it is like. Then, if it's fun, try traditional posting.

I am 20, female and live in Belgium. I can speak English and Dutch. I am an art school student and love drawing. I got a lot of different interests and I am also interested in new interests.A few of my interests are art, costume making, comics, drawing, reading, anime and manga, history, biology… but, as stated earlier, I am willing to learn about new stuff and interests!

Just send me a pm when interested. ^_^ (I don't care about age, gender or the country, so feel free.)

edit: Maybe something I should also mention: I am pretty new to steampunk.

Hello! I'm from Israel and I've been trying to find a Steampunk loving pen-pal for some time now. I was thinking about some sort of RP using real letters and maybe Skype. Email, pm or add me on Skype if it sounds interesting to you. Email: hss.odysseus@gmail.comSkype: Odysseus.spaceship49

I found this a few minutes ago and was immediately intrigued. I am living in the US but am originally from Europe (and am going to move back there for 2 years some time in 2015). I am in my late 20s, female, just recently got into steampunk, avid reader, photographer, traveler.

I would love to have a traditional (snail mail) pen pal. However, I would love to make up stories in my letters (and for you to do the same, if you want to). We could exchange stories about our lives as if it were a steampunk novel. Let me know if you are interested. I'm looking forward to it

I would be delighted to correspond with you if you would have it. I am an adventurer of sorts, there being too much that I would not be willing to enumerate in a public forum to list here. If you find it amenable to enter into an exchange of epistles, I would be only to happy to share in it with you. My box for electronic mail is located at: rapacious.wolf @ gmail.com, where I eagerly await your correspondence.

Age and gender do not matter. I also like to send small trinkets in my packages as well, so expect jewelry and small oddities (pressed flowers, humanely procured animal teeth, the occasional insect preserved in resin, locks of hair, etc.)

I would prefer North American penpals, as per the price of postage, but overseas writers would also be a delightful treat!

I am aware that this thread seems to be dwindling, and I am unsure whether this pen-pal system is still operational, however if it is, I would be more then happy to participate. Simply message me for a fine chat, and we shall converse with other like chums!

Kind Regards,Mr. Debraque

Yeah, interest seems to have dropped off somewhat, but I hope it can be revived. I'm trying to return to active steampunkhood, so I'd be really happy to pick up pen and paper once again and converse.

I'm ashamed that my last two pen-pal ventures have diminished due to life's bad habit of chewing up one's free time, but I have some available and I'm quite enthusiastic to trying again.

Anyone wants to try to strike up some letter-trading, drop me a line.

I'm interested in steampunk, in writing (especially with NaNoWriMo coming up), and let's see... chess. Myst and its comparable video games category. Making stuff, like papercraft items. Reading various books, but admittedly rather limited to the steampunk genre, mystery, science fiction, and the occasional fantasy book.

Updating information. For future viewers, know that I am, in general, always open to communication. However old this post gets, do not hesitate to contact me on account of elapsed time.

I'm the same as I was the last time I posted here!An academe and classicist, historian, anthropologist, dilettante in sundry disciplines, lover of the Holmesian, the gothic (more in a literary sense than in the subcultural sense, but the latter as well, to a lesser extent), the romantic (again, in a literary sense), the mythical and theological. I am a writer of poetry and prose, a professor of literacy education, and a purveyor of paraphernalia of the destruction of the undead.

Hi don't know if anyone is using this still but....I’m looking for a pen pal, but I can only email, sorry. I am female, I live in the UK and am currently studying product design, physics, and maths at collage (A level). I am interested in steampunk, creating and designing, reading fantasy and shooting. I have never had a pen pal so I don’t know what I’m doing. I also have only recently (last year) found an out about steampunk but I have always loved fantasy and a lot of my books I have discovered are steampunk.I don’t mind writing in character or in real life, although my character is still developing.
